A Progressive Duck's take on Politics, Media, History, Rock and Roll and whatever else I feel like quacking about

Here's an idea

Ms. Duckman left me this note yesterday, it sounds far too sensible, but hey, it could happen, right?

I have an idea. Why don’t we get the GOP (the rich ones that benefited so much from the tax cuts) to show some of that “compassion” they’re so proud of bragging about and help Kansas and New Orleans by actually giving their money to the victims of those disasters.

Just think of it, they could also send their company employees and equipment and use their own “expertise” (CEO knowledge) to do the work.

Just think of it! They could increase their sinking poll numbers overnight, if not in 18 months for the elections. They could actually keep those areas safe and secure from the Global Terrorists!

The National Guard in those states really could use some more resources, not to mention local hospital, fire, police, schools, justice, etc.

Do you think it could work? Hell yes!

Do you think they’ll do it?

Or better yet-what about all those rich Dems that benefited from those tax cuts? They may even be worse.

Leaving the Dems out of it for a moment, I just don't think that the people who are looting this country blind and broke are overly interested in helping anybody out. That's what you get for living in Kansas, they'll tell you.

Or you could take Colbert's attitude. I think he can explain it better than anyone. And he's so very clean and everything. Humble and modest too.
